HERE IS HOW I DO IT
2. Place some salt in a small container of your choosing. It is recommended that you use sea salt but I use iodized salt (regular cooking salt) and it works just fine
3. Dip the open end of the sliced lemon in the salt
4. Scrub your face with it gently. It will sting a little but it is nothing to be frightened about. Since it is an intense treatment, I try not to do this more than 2 or 3 times a week
5. Get a rag (preferably a white one so you can see how much dirt is lifted off your skin) and wet it with warm/hot water - as hot as you can handle it
6. Place the rag on your face and let sit for a few seconds. Repeat
7. Use this same rag to wipe off the mixture
8. Wash face again with warm/hot water
9. Pat dry
I tend to keep my lemon half for a while in the fridge because it seems like a waste to just use it once. I cut off the top of it each time I am going to re-do this scrub until the lemon is done.
HERE IS WHY IT WORKS
Let's take a closer look at the benefits of these two ingredients:
Lemon is a natural astringent that is rich in citric acid. Contains antibacterial properties that fight off germs inside skin pores. Deep-cleans pores. Regulates amount of oil production in skin, hence preventing blackhead formation.
Salt exfoliates and scours off dead cells, dirt, grime, excess oils, germs, and pollution from the skin's surface. Removes peeling skin, leaving it smooth and supple.
